FAQ
Q1: Which electric vehicles is this EV charging cable compatible with?
A: This Type 2 to J1772 Cable is fully compatible with all Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) that use the standard J1772 AC charging inlet, such as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt, Toyota Prius Plug-in, and many others.
Q2: In which regions can I use this Type 2 to J1772 cable?
A: You can use it in any region with Type 2 (Mennekes) socket-based AC charging stations, which primarily includes most of Europe, the UK, Australia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. It is not suitable for DC fast chargers (like CCS Combo 2) or stations with permanently attached cables.
Q3: How do I choose between the 16A and 32A specifications?
A: The 32A specification is recommended as it supports higher charging power (up to ~7.4 kW single-phase), offers broader charger compatibility, and enables faster charging. The 16A option is suitable for scenarios with lower power requirements or where budget is a primary concern.
Q4: Can this Type 2 to J1772 charging cable be used for DC fast charging?
A: Absolutely not. This is an EV Charging Cable designed exclusively for Alternating Current (AC) charging. DC Fast Charging requires completely different connectors (e.g., CCS Combo 1/2) and dedicated cables with more complex internal structures.
Q5: Does using this Type 2 to J1772 adapter cable affect charging speed or safety?
A: No. The Mekel Type 2 to J1772 EV Charging Cable is manufactured to the highest safety standards using premium conductors (silver-plated copper alloy) to minimize resistance and voltage drop. It will deliver the maximum safe AC charging power available from the station, as supported by your vehicle, without becoming a bottleneck for speed or safety.
